DONT THROW YOUR MUM OUT IN THE RAIN, KIDS!

Howdy! The title pretty much says it all, a little prank by my mother went horrible wrong. Well for her anyways! Yes thats my evil cackle in the back ground and before anyone complains about the way we treat our mother you spend a day with her and your be throwing her out into the rain to! 

I jest, she's lovely really and she wasn't hurt in the making of this video but we did beat her afterwards and put her back in her cage. 

MUHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

Present from the marsden.

Hello ladies and gents! Trying out my new blogger app on my phone and it's pretty snazzy. I apologise if it's not very easy to read or the words aren't what there suppose to be because predictive text on an iPhone is pretty interesting at the best of times.

I'm now getting on the ball with my blogging and also my YouTube, I've been lucky enough that my YouTube account has been upgraded and now if I want to I can make money with my videos. Which is exciting for me as I'd really love for it to get popular so that I could invest the money in better equipment and then making better videos, Well that's the dream anyway. Also if I could make a career out of it that would be amazing! I love making videos and silly skits and wether I get paid or not its a great passion of mine.

So to the point I had an awesome weekend, Saturday being my birthday! 24 years old! Now before getting sick I may of been upset the fact I'm getting further away from my teens but now I appreciate every year. I can't understand people who moan about getting older, just for the fact that I know a lot of people that didn't make it to 24. Appreciate every day I know I try to! Don't wait for the wake up call!

Anyways before I start ranting.. I'm sitting in the marsden waiting for my bloods to come back, trying to keep my mind off the lumber puncture that's waiting for me in a couple of hours. Just the best way to finish the weekend, not!

Anyways I'm off to go enjoy the marsden Christmas party! X x

That Birds Got Swagger!

Hey peoples! This vid is just a mash up of last weekend, I had a busy one having lunch in Richmond with Matt and sitting by the riverside. A few geese gotta a little to close but the sunset was gorgeous along the river. Saturday I spent with my bro at pub, we watched the band The SkaSouls which were such a buzzing band and they didn't take them self to seriously. Sunday I went and visited Sarah in London on South Bank, we walked along the river watching the street performers and enjoying the sights. I've messed around with this video a bit but I hope you enjoy it! 

I haven't really been up to much this week, I had a major clear out of my stuff and got rid of loads. I'm going to do a car boot Sunday to go towards my spending money for Amsterdam. Which is only 7 days away! I'm really looking forward to be going away even if its only 3 days, I'm in major need of a break. I'm hoping to have a few more video's up in the next few weeks as I've got quite a bit planned. Anyways off to chill, love you peoples!

Take care and keep smiling!

LONDON GAY PRIDE 2011

Hey Geezers! I know its been a while, Its been a busy couple of weeks and this video is of last weekend of me and my mates at gay pride. It was a awesome day and I really enjoyed it was good to be back in London and having a good time with the gays again. I didn't get as much footage as I would of liked but I hope you enjoy the video!

I'm just editing the footage of the Sunday of the same weekend at Airplay studios, me and the guys went for a jam session and I had a really good time. I've really missed making music with them, it inspires me to keep playing my guitar as I've been a bit slack lately. Also its got me craving a drum kit, which always happens to me known again. I need to convince my mum that I NEED one!

Last Monday I had a bone marrow all went well except I kinda woke up from the sedation before they did it and felt a little pulling but it was okay other then that. I'm going back to the hospital tomorrow, I think I will get most of the results tomorrow but it takes around two weeks for the full results so maybe they wont tell me anything in till they have all the information. So I'll update you guys with the info as soon as I know whats going on.

Only 10 days to Amsterdam, I'm getting excited! Got my little travel guide like the tourist I am, the map pops out which also excites me! Right I'm off to bed now up early for the doc's! Night night my cherubs!

Take care and keep smiling!

Trophy Whore.

Hey peoples so I realised I've been mega lame on the blogging front, actually I've been pretty lame altogether these last couple of weeks. I've been slacking on my videos, blogs, twitter and photo booth the main reason for this is, I'm a trophy whore. Yes a trophy whore for those who do not know what one of these are well, Its a person who likes to collect trophies. Which are achievements you get when playing PS3 games, not the big metal things you keep on your mantel piece. I enjoy playing computer games but it seems to of got out of control trying to beat my brothers trophy score, I know I've got a problem. Anyways thats enough about my addictions, I'll update you with whats been going on.

So Monday I went to the doctors for a check up and just had my bloods tested, one of the reasons my counts weren't coming up very quickly was because I was lacking in folic acid so now I've got a tablet which helps with that so hopefully the counts should boost up now. The last couple of weeks I've been trying to build myself up and start to get these muscles working again. I've got to have another bone marrow on Monday the last one they couldn't get the exact results so on this bone marrow there going to use another technic on the blood to get the right results.

 I got some very sad news one of the gentlemen I speak to Mr Seymour, his cancer has come back and he's really not well and he said to me that it would be his last time up at the Marsden. So my thoughts are with him and his wife. A very nice man and a pleasure to meet him.

 I visited Sarah last weekend in Greenwich, which was really awesome and the weather was beautiful! This was the first time Id properly been out and ventured into London again. My legs really needed the workout and I feel better for it. The reason I'm trying to get the muscles back up and running is that I've booked to go away next month to Amsterdam which my bestie Matt and I want to be ready and able to enjoy it all.

Also this weekend is Gay pride in London so I'm going to that, I'll be videoing it. I missed out last year on my summer so I'm going to make the most of this one. Also got a few other things planned which I will mention nearer the time but I'm really looking forward to this summer.  Hope you all enjoyed the super hot weather! Also Friday night I'm going to a freak show, not to sure what to expect but I'll defo keep you posted.

I promise I'll update more I've got a few more events going on lately so I'll have better things to blog, tweet and vlog about!

Take care and keep smiling!

SPOON FIGHT!

Hey peoples, did you all have a good bank holiday? Well this video is just a quick update of my bank holiday monday, which was pretty chilled out and I really enjoyed it. Its a pretty silly video but I think it worth a watch, me and Sarah had a good giggle at trying to play the key board and making chocolate cornflakes.

I've nearly finished this course of treatment and tomorrow will be my last day. This chemo hasn't been to bad, I was feeling pretty sick but thanks to the anti-sickness injection I've been pretty good. Got a few things to mention but I'm gonna put that in another blog soon. Hope all you beautiful people are well!

Take care and keep smiling!

EAGER BEAVER.

Well I've been a bit lame lately and haven't updated for a little while so I'll update you with the latest events. So if you didn't know already they've delayed my chemo three weeks due to my counts not being high enough. Also because my counts aren't coming up very quickly, I'm having a bone marrow tomorrow to check that everything is normal and that the cancer hasn't come back and causing my counts to drop. I'm a bit scared and I have a thousand things flying around my head but I'm keeping a positive attitude!

It also sucks because I'm really eager to get this chemo started as I'm so close to finishing this last course. Also means I'm going to miss my trip away with the boys in cornwall because I wont be fit enough in time after the chemo if this last course carries on. So I'm a bit gutted about that but never mind there gonna come and stay for a week in the summer so thats something to look forward to it.

Last couple of days I've been chilling and also started working on my project and fixing up an old bmx which was a project I started before I got ill and its looking pretty good. I know nothing about bmxs but it was a little project for me to keep busy. Its not finished yet but what do you guys think of it? Thats what the top video blog is about and you can see what I've been working on.

I also went and bought a skateboard! Should be arriving in the next couple of days, I didn’t spend to much but it looks like a good kit. The reason for my impulse buy is I was watching a youtube video on the channel http://www.youtube.com/user/phamdamily. Which is a family which vlogs daily and they went out to buy a birthday present for his wife, and she chooses a skateboard as she wanted to learn and if a mum of three can do it so can I! Its really inspired me to be more adventurous and do all the things that I wanna do. One of them is learning to skateboard and hopefully the goal is to at least be able to cruise around.

Anyways gonna go sleep, night guys!

Take care and keep smiling!

Bognor!

Hey guys! I've uploaded this video a week ago but haven't shared it with you guys on blogger, so here it is!    Me and Sarah went to Bognor, I know I know I spelt it wrong in the video but thats the way I say it. Anyways we had an awesome time very small and quiet place, we went and played mini golf and lost all are money in the arcades. It was good to get by the sea and watch the waves crash against the beach, I love it so. Gotta apologise for the sound because it was a pretty windy day the camera picked it up so you might wanna turn it down! Anyways gonna keep it short because I've got another blog planned.

Take care and keep smiling!

Lezzas hit Greenwich!

Hey guys! This is a video blog of my weekend visiting Sarah, It took me like 4 times to upload! Which was very frustrating but its here now! I went to visit Sarah's new flat in Greenwich which is lovely and surrounded by billions of restaurants, takeaways and shops. We went and explored a little around the area and chilled at hers. Then we got the Thames clipper back to Waterloo to go back to mine, which is a really good trip down the Thames and I recommend if you ever get the chance to go on it. We also went to Bogner Regis on the bank holiday Monday which was nice. I've got footage of that which I will upload and edit today/tomorrow so hopefully be up soon.

So I went to the Royal Marsden on Tuesday and I was ready to start this last two weeks of chemo, but my counts weren't high enough to start so I have to wait another week. I think its the only time were I’ve been disappointed not to have a lumber puncture, I’m just really eager to start and finish this last bit of treatment. Just hoping my counts go up over the next few days and I can get this show on the road.

Also I’m suppose to be going away to Cornwall on holiday on the 4th of June and that gives me less time to get stronger to enjoy it. It gives me about 2 weeks to prepare for the holiday, which is okay but I was hoping to be strong and stuff because my nephews are quite a handful. Just means I’ll have to take it easy and no boogie boarding for me! Lame! I’ll be just paddling and messing around in the little pools and I can sit and hunt for crabs! Only one problem, the pub is at the top of the hill a very large steep hill. How I conquer that I’m not sure, no doubt I’ll come up with something to get up there.

Right people's I'm off on a mission to clean my room and then get this next video blog up, wish me luck! :D

Take care and keep smiling!

Ruff & Tumble

Well.. ruff and tumble is pretty much all about this video the boys had a few bumps here and there. I had so much footage of the boys and I'm disappointed I had to fit it in to just 15 minutes but I tryed my best to get all the best bits in. It was a great weekend with them and my Sister and all the other visitors that popped over this weekend. We got up to all sorts like football, catch, basketball, Nerf guns and making bread pudding. I gotta say I was extremely tired after they had gone but well worth it, I love to muck around with them and have ruff and tumble, what are aunties for eh? and when they get tired uncles save the day.

I've been sitting in the sun and making the most of it while its here. I've been editing the video blog and updating what other sites to update. Just yesterday joined up to dailybooth which is a photo website, I'm going to upload daily and watch the rate in which my hair grows back and be nice to see if I change at all over the next couple of months. Here's a link if you want to check it out http://dailybooth.com/TenaciousKT . I'll be posting on twitter and facebook so you can always check it out there to. I gotta say that I've got a lot of love already from this site, so smiles all round.

Well I'm off to go play! Hope your all well and enjoying the sun peoples!

Take care and keep smiling!

Dangerous Duckies.

Hey guys! Just a video blog of Friday spent with Matt but it wouldn't upload so its a little late. The name is just random and aren't any dangerous ducks in the video. Sorry to disappoint, but there are some very cute ducklings, and footage of me and Matt being rather silly. We had a stroll along the river to Runnymede Park and had lunch and some mega nice ice cream, then headed back home to watch films and play around in my wigs. Like you do.

I've had a great weekend with my Nephews and Sister, we just spent the weekend playing. They've just gone home and I'm knackered but we had a great time and had loads of visitors this weekend. I've got some footage of the weekend with the boys which I will edit and upload in the next couple of days.

My hair is pretty much all gone and I look like either Dr. Evil or Lex Luthor. I seem to still have this tuft at the back that wont budge looks rather silly so going to shave that off. Missing the Mohawk ever so slightly, ok ok maybe a lot! But I know it will come back in good time. Fingers crossed no ginger afros.

Anyways I'm going to watch a movie with Sarah and prepare for tomorrow, third week of chemo. I had a slight break but back on it tomorrow. I'll try get footage of tomorrow and the goings on as it will be my last chance to get footage of this chemo regime. Bye Bye peoples.

Take care and keep smiling!

Lezza Mohawk.

So I've got cheeky footage of Sarah shaving my head because my hair is falling out due to the chemo its taking a few weeks for the chemo to kick in and eventually fall out the chemo is taking effect. You should see my laptop the keyboard is covered I have to keep blowing it to see the keys. The hair cut is very dykey and I'm looking extra lezzaish but I look like that anyways with the super short doo so its okay, something I've got use to over the last 9-10 months. I'm going to have to shave the rest off due to it still falling out loads.

Anyways I hope you enjoy the video and hope your all having fun!

Take care and keep smiling!

Fun in the Sun.

Hey peoples! I had one of the best weekends I've had in a while, my best friend Zabrina came from up north to see me and she spent the weekend at mine. We went into town and got some bits and bobs to play in the garden with and we spent the morning sat in the sun by the river. Then spent the afternoon in the garden playing in the sun, watch the video to see what we got up to! I loved it all and to make it perfect Matt, Darren and Sarah also came over on the Sunday for a BBQ and we just messed around in the sun, taking full advantage of the hot weather.

I love the smell of sun cream it brings back all the good times I spent on Holiday, though its making me crave to go away to some where hot and some where with a pool but all in good time. I've got a few ideas of what my first break away will be, I'm thinking Florida and going to all the theme parks and laying by the hotel pool with a cocktail. I know I'm going to Cornwall with my Mum, Sister and Nephews in the summer so I've got that to look forward to but I don't think there's exotic drinks and pool at the place were going to but it is lovely there and the sunsets are beautiful. I'll have to settle for Cornish pastie and pint of cider.

So just to update you with whats going on with me, I'm on a week off as the chemo was kicking my ass and I restart my chemo on the 18th. Then it should only be around six weeks then I've finished this course of treatment. I'm feeling really good and have more energy then normal so I really enjoyed this weekend. The only thing is my hair is starting to fall out it keeps going all over my keyboard, Sarah shaved it yesterday but I kept it long on top for a laugh but I look super dykey, well even more so then I already did. So I think I will shave it all off soon. I've got footage of Sarah shaving it which I will edit and upload soon so keep an eye out for that.

Also I'm still having the side effects of the steroids which made me diabetic which I'm coping with pretty well and with the help of Gliclazide a tablet that brings my sugar levels down. I'm also trying to be strict with diet, but been a bit hard due to all the BBQ's. I'm trying to cut down on the rubbish food because of the diabetes and because I need to lose weight. I lost around half a stone from being in hospital and eating proper food, so I feel it would be silly to put that back on for me then to have to lose it again in say a few months when this is treatment is over which was the original plan. My name is Katie Seedwell and I'm a junk food junkie and I have a problem.

Anyways you beautiful people I have another video to edit so I'm off and have fun in the sun! I hope you enjoy the video! =]

Take care and keep smiling!

I'm Melting!

Just a quick update of whats going on pretty much a video blog of my latest blog and a few giggles thrown in. I've just been told I can go home, I'm just waiting for dad to pick me up. Also just had some good news but I don't wanna say to much as it might not happen so I'm gonna keep it to myself for a bit but keep watching this space to find out!

I can't wait to get home and in the sun and prepare for Zabrina's visit, she's coming later tonight and spending the weekend at mine. Haven't got anything planned but if the sun stays out and plays I think a BBQ and fun in the garden is in order. So I'm mega excited for that! Anyways I better go and get ready for dad to get me outta here!

Take care and keep smiling!

Bummer.

Hey guys just a quick video blog update would of got it up yesterday but I got a bit tired after editing the footage so I'm putting it up now. I had an injection in the bum which was a little stingy but nothing to complain about. I didn't mind the nurse either she's always really nice and it wasn't to painful so were still friends. Currently on steroids which make my cheeks go red and my sugar levels go up, so I'm being good at the moment and trying not to eat any chocolate or sugary drinks. Which I find quite hard being addicted to coke. I've also got a malteaser bunny staring at me on my desk but I'm being extra good and not giving in but this is only in till Sunday, so Monday I'll be overdosing on anything sugary and that bunny will be mine!

Sarah is coming over later so I'm planning to cook us a meal a pepperoni pasta dish will be my third new recipe. Three weeks running haven't had any fails yet! I went into my work today to get the ingredients and spent ages chatting to my work mates which was nice. I bought mum a few mothers days presents but shh! Just in case I can't get out in the next few weeks to get her anything so I'm preparing for it now. I'm feeling good at moment and waiting for this chemo to do its nasty job but no doubt it will kick in soon but in till then I'm going to enjoy this little bit of energy I have. This sun is lovely and I should be spending way more time in it so that's what I'm gonna do peoples ENJOY!

Take care and keep smiling!

SPIDERMAN VS BEN 10.

Howdy peoples! Me and my Mum spent the weekend at my Sisters and got some great footage of the boys, we had such a great time going on the pier and all sorts. Checkout the video to see what we got up to! I was giggling loads while editing the footage, I love these guys they make me laugh so much. Its a shame I don't get to see them more often but they live several hours from us but when we do see them its always great. Though were always knackered!

The Little Monsters!

We all watched Comic Relief Friday night and it had us all in tears so I had to donate. I never done it in the past but I've been blessed so much myself recently and people and charities have been so generous to me I feel like I need to give back as well. I just wish I could be out there building and helping in person as sometimes you never know where the money goes. Maybe in the future it will be something I will achieve, but Friday I did my bit and gave some money. Saturday we went to Western-Super-Mares Pier and spent loads of money that my Brother (Uncle Doo Doo's) had given us to treat the boys. The boys and also me went in a soft play area, then the bumper cars and 2p machines, deal or no deal, racing horses, grabber machines and more 2p machines and lots of other games. We were all very tired by the end of the day but it was well worth it. Sunday was similar ended up at a Hungry Horse near my Sister that had a play area, so once again me and the boys were in there obviously I was forced to go in and play. On the way home we popped into a garden centre which I saw a chameleon which made me want one even more, but mother says no. So also another day we were all exhausted and we had a little tea and cake for Kieran as its his birthday next week. Monday we returned to home, so we could get some sleep and recover for the next time we see them.

Messing With The Mac.

So I started my next and last course of treatment *fingers&toescrossed* today. I had Vincristine and Doxorubicin which is the one that makes your hair fall out and pee red, lovely I know. Please don't ask me to pronounce though because I have no idea. Also going to get Peg Asparaginase on Thursday which is an injection in your bum. I'm hoping I get a nurse that I don't know very well because the thought of knowing they've seen my bum is a bit odd. I'm telling you the proper names because I haven't really documented the exact chemo regime so I thought Id try keep you up to date with this last one. I also have to start taking Dexamethasone which are steroids, they make my face go red and my sugar levels rise. I'd say there the worst bit of the treatment, maybe because they prevent me from eating sweets! They also make you ache after you stop taking them. I'm a few hours on from my first shot and feel okay at the moment but I guess it will all kick in tomorrow. Three weeks of this then a week break then another three pretty intense weeks but keeping everything crossed its my last course of treatment and I will be in remission.

I'm gonna keep you guys posted on chemo days, so not only for you but for me to document what my last course is like so I can look back and go "oh that's what happened.." etc etc. I will try and film a little bit if I get the confidence to film in front of the nurse's and patients. If you guys have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them. I will try and respond as soon as possible, If you can't comment on here try me on my other sites. There on the side > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Anyways off to entertain the Bro other wise he beats me! :P

Take Care and Keep Smiling!

Pancakes&LizardBrains.

Hey guys and girlies, I've got another video blog for you! Aren't you glad? My counts are all up and I'm on my rest week, so I'm enjoying the little time before this next course. Well this video blog is just a little update of whats been going on, which is not a lot but next week I start my intense phase of treatment. Which I'll properly Vlog about and get into more detail but this is just a video of Pancake day with Sarah and my bro and me and my best friend Matt mucking around. Hope you enjoy guys!

So yesterday I had a massive shock and I for once I was speechless, I'll start the story from the beginning to give you more of my point of view. I woke up just checked my Facebook and poodled about and didn't do very much and I'd been saying to myself "I really want to donate money to Japan". I have this thing of forgetting or saying "I'll do that tomorrow" and I never do it but I actually did it. Only takes 5 mins but anyways I did it, I donated £18. Which I hope it will help someone I know its not a lot but if everyone donates a little then it makes a big difference. Well an hour later my Mum comes through the door and says "I've got something for you from Aunty May" So I naturally thought oh she's sent ten pounds or something like that because she's always send me bits and bobs and she's so generous. Then my mum hands me this check for a very large amount of money, well with shock I burst into tears and just didn't know what to say. I wasn't even responding to mum. I love my Aunty May as a kid id go food shopping with my mum and Aunty May and she is 96 now but then she must of been in her 80's and getting around isn't easy for her so I'd poodle around with her getting the shopping and she would tell me all about her stories and I loved it. A true character and someone I hold dear to my heart. I'm so grateful for her gift and I can't thank her enough, I can't go and see her just yet because of my immune system being so low. I can't say to much but this woman deserves billions and I wish i could give it to her. Thank you Aunty May your one in a million! x x x

Also just recently I'm cooking a new recipe a week and just made Farfalle with Gorgonzola & Ham, successfully I might add. I've not really been much of a cook but with all this spare time I wanted to widen my skills and prepare proper food so that when I'm out in the big bad world I can cook a decent meal instead of living of pot noodles & cheerios. I gotta say I didn't use Gorgonzola I just used a mature cheddar but it was loverly and I'm quite proud. So my tummy is full of goodness and I'm going to go be lazy and watch television and just be lazy! :D

Enjoy the video guys!
Takecare and keep smiling!

BritneyBuzz.

I've got a lot spare time, so with it I've edited video footage of me when I got my head shaved. Which was back in June/July time in 2010 due to the chemo. The Nurse in the video is Natalie and I hope she doesn't mind me putting it on the web, if she ever see's it. She was really good and made me feel comfortable through out the whole process, she made me laugh and made it easier. Natalie suggested that we gave my haircut a name and all I could think of was Britney shaving her head. So i came up with the Britney Buzz for the name. Also explains the name for this blog. We did have a good giggle through out the whole thing which I'm glad, my only worry when I got my head shaved was my ears sticking out!

Dad filmed the whole thing so I do apologise for the shakeyness of the camera. It's just a silly video I put together for a giggle not so much a video blog. I'm just going to wait a bit and get some decent footage for my next video blog.

I bought a wig which was quite expensive but I've never worn it out, just because I'm not that kind of person. I'm more comfortable with just wearing a hat or just going naked. The people I hang around with know I'm a baldie and there pretty cool so I've never felt the need to wear it. I like to wear different kind of hats. Though I found it hard at first to find hats that suited me but I got use to them the sillier the better. Some times people stare but I guess there just curious or nosey either way I'm not bothered.

My hair is slowly growing back and starting to take shape but I've still got the last course of treatment to have which will make my hair fall out again. So still going to be wearing hats for a little while longer, though its starting to warm up I can get the caps out or go naked just have to be careful I don't burn my little head.

So I hope you enjoy the video! Leave some love. :) x

Take care and keep smiling!
